... I was earning pocket money repairing bicycles & then lawnmowers & onwards…. Motorcycles was really just a logical progression. On the road I don’t ride too quickly, observing most limits. However rarely do I let other road users delay my progress. On the track I just trundle round, ...

my grandad was hit by a truck and dragged 200 yards up the road he was in a coma for 6 months before he woke up

I'm Mike, 42 and the site's resident Yank. I live in the Appalachian mountains of the eastern US, which means lots of great twisty roads nearby. Having said that, I'm a fairly calm rider due to my reluctance to be a hypocrite given that my employ is law enforcement. I divide about half ...

... weekends on the bike so I decided I would chop the Zx6r in for a Zx10r and turn it into a track bike (so now I have 2 for the track, none for the road). I will no doubt buy another bike for the road soon, just deciding what I want it for. I found trackdays make you realise the capability of a ...

... the Island, I enjoy track days although I've been off track since May last year due to being medically unfit post op, I would say my pace on the road is calm/quick and on track usually in the fast group on familiar circuits.

... bike today. The traffic was a nightmare. One of the main by passes in Coventry was shut as an HGV decided to shed its load over both sides of the road. On top of that some muppet on the M6 had clipped the central reservation, span his car about and ended up in the outside lane whilst spraying ...

... pre 955i Tigers, it was bought as my winter hack in 2006 to save my shiny new 675 from getting eaten by the British winter, but as I sold the road Daytona 5 months back (written off already) it's my only road bike at the moment, it's built like a tank and bright yellow so suits most of the ...

... and said he needs to crash and go to hospital teaches him a lesson...wasn't young either mid 40s maybe 50 possibly. Do they think they own the road or something?!

... I've been on and around bikes since the days of power cuts, strikes at British Leyland and the ubiquitous Fizzy. I'm currently the owner of a road going Triumph Tiger and a track only 675 Daytona, so it goes without saying that I enjoy a bit of track time. ;) Anyway, hope to meet some of you ...

... put pressure on the old bill to turn a blind eye on it. You might remember last year there was a thing with a guy going up and down a main road in Knightsbridge on an R1 doing wheelies.

... people who text/phone whilst driving! :@ He's like a one man vigilante group when we are going anywhere, in fact they'd be better off sacking the road cops and just give the job to him!!! (muscle) I think the worst thing is, even if you do challenge someone texting, they either give back a mouthful ...

Only colour options were white and black? Good job they are the best colours.

I've done the opposite and declared our car SORN. £280 road tax!!! Feck that, I'm using the bike for a bit.

Did I hear somewhere that if you have a dash cam in your car you can use footage and send on to the police???

Unfortunately that has to cover all road traffic violations , and as in all walks of life there are surprisingly some numb nuts who are on 2 wheels

... let him ride it. I went in the house (my lid was in the garage) to fill the bucket, next thing I hear is my bike and dad roaring off down the road. I was livid when he came back 20 mins later. All he could say in his own Black Country tongue was 'fast that ay it!' :D

Today I will mostly be putting a Q.C. to shame with his poor skills and lack of understanding of the Road Traffic Act. The work he's done for the Claimant is shockingly poor. It's the basic stuff, like not being able to add up or pleading that my client was the insurer when ...

It is an expensive road to go down. "The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts."

... of the bikes mentioned here and see which ones I can find here. It's easy to find bikes made by Yamaho, Kawazuki, Honba, most bikes I see on the road are like that. I do occasionally see a genuine brand so they do exist here. It's certainly an adventure, things are very different here. It's awesome ...

I had kangaroo over Christmas. Unimpressed tbh. Not worth it over beef IMO. We have an ostrich farm up the road so that will get a visit during the year. I'd like to try it. That's a shame. My take on the Kangaroo steak was that it seemed very tasty. I felt it's consistency ...

... theiving scum bags that are the problem, but dozy old bints who can't see where they are reversing and the old faithfuls who cannot look down the road before joining the road...
